I should have updated this thread earlier.  I have confirmed that
unifdef is required when building kernels for x86_64 but not for i686.

It's in the kernel .spec file:

# no need to build headers again for these arches,
# they can just use i386 and ppc64 headers
%ifarch i586 i686 ppc64iseries
%define with_headers 0
%endif

and this:

%if %{with_headers}
BuildRequires: unifdef
%endif

We have since updated the Wiki article accordingly.  Thank you all for
your participation.
